Course Description

This Introductory French course puts emphasis on the verbal aspect of the French language. It covers a wide range of material used in all schools, from Grades 2-8 and beyond, where French is taught. We prepared this unique course with two main recipients in mind:
- On one hand, the students who have never had any contact with the French language, so they can develop their verbal fluency before the written one, and those who had learned French previously but need to improve their vocabulary and speaking proficiency in French.
- On the other hand, the parents who have no knowledge of the French language, so that, due to our unique methodology, videos' content and reviews, they can follow the daily progress of their children and feel confident enough to monitor their progress. 

Course Goals

Upon completing this intensive French course, the students with no previous knowledge of French will build a solid and rich vocabulary that will enable them to use the language properly and instantly, verbally first, read with expression and intonation and then write, by responding to the challenging opportunties created by the instructor through every lesson. And those with some contact with the French language, will feel more empowered to speak French correctly by exposing them to a practical, simple yet advanced vocabulary that will enrich what they have already acquired, and will make them aware of the errors made due to the influence of the English language on their ability to express themselves in French. 

Target Audience

This video-course is intended for:

  • Grades 2-8 students, homeschooled or in a regular school system.
  • French Immersion students who want to improve their verbal fluency and learn how to express themselves properly.
  • Elementary or High School IEP students who need special accommodation to catch up to their peers in French.
  • Parents looking to have a virtual tutor to keep their child constantly in touch with a rich vocabulary and the basic grammar.
  • Other learners, parents or otherwise, who want to be exposed to the French language, or who had taken French courses before and want to polish their verbal fluency.
  • Supply and Occasional teachers looking to learn French or to improve their verbal fluency.
  • Adult Students who, despite the many French courses taken, are still looking for that Magic Baguette to help them raise their level of verbal fluency in French, rather than their level of frustration, and prepare them, in a real and not perceived way, to never say again:
    "I understand the question but I am not confident enough to respond".

Course Requirements

This course is open to any student who has no French language studies previously, and to others who had some knowledge but want to improve their verbal fluency. The instructor's unique and innovative approach, the variety of activities, the content of the material presented in a progressive manner to respond to the needs of students at various levels, and the opportunities provided to the learners to speak French, will undoubtedly engage any student who is willing to be challenged in a very creative way.
